M3460R - Boost Regulator

- 50 to 1350kW Drives
- 2 Second 50% Sag

The Bonitron M3460R protects variable frequency drives (VFDs) from 3-phase, 50% line sags.

Process availability and uptime are the watchwords of a profitable manufacturing business. Reliability is the key to constant production. Sags, dips, outages, and transients on the power grid can cause VFDs to trip off-line. This can stop your process and damage your product or equipment. The cost of repair, lost product, and lost productivity can be staggering. Now you can protect your VFDs from power fluctuations from the utility or within the plant with Bontron’s Ride-Thru Solutions.

The M3460R Bus Regulator boosts the drive DC bus during a voltage sag. As the incoming voltage level drops, the unit boosts the rectified DC to the level needed by the drive.

Bonitron’s Ride-Thru Solutions allow your VFDs to meet or exceed:

  • SEMI-F47
  • IEC 61000-4-11
  • IEC 61000-4-34



This module can stand alone for 50% sag protection, or can be retrofitted with storage capacitor banks if future needs require full outage protection.
